Pet care has been part of my daily life for over 8 years. Between caring for my own dog, cat, and rabbit, and pet sitting for many repeat Rover clients, caring for animals is already built into my routine; not something I try to “fit in.” I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your pet. I treat every animal like they’re my own by paying close attention to their routine, personality, energy levels, and comfort. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, updates/photos for owners, or just making sure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away, I take pride in being dependable and attentive. My goal is simple: when you leave your pet with me, you should feel confident they’re being genuinely cared for not just watched.

Safety, trust & environment

I always try to keep pets on the routine they’re already comfortable with. Every animal is different, so I tailor my care based on your pet’s personality, energy level, and the instructions my clients leave for me. I make it a priority to follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medications, sleeping arrangements, and household rules as closely as possible so your pet experiences consistency while you’re away. A lot of pet sitting honestly comes down to companionship and making animals feel comfortable. Many pets just want someone nearby while they relax, nap, play, or stick to their normal routine, and I’m happy to provide that calm presence and attention throughout the day. I also take pride in respecting my clients’ homes. I always clean up after myself and do my best to leave everything exactly how I found it. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable, stress-free, and confident while you’re away.

Information Dan W. would like to know about your pet

I always love meeting the animals prior to booking to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone! I also genuinely appreciate detailed instruction sheets. Every pet has their own routine & preferences; having notes to refer back to helps me make sure I’m following everything as closely as possible and giving your pet the best care I can:)

A typical day

I usually tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. Some love fetch, walks, and playtime, while others are happiest relaxing on the couch and getting lots of attention and cuddles!

Our dog Rosie was very comfortable with Dan! He really gave us peace of mind when we went out of town for the weekend.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
